Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies that try to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat cancer. Many of the standard treatments for cancer today were once tested in a clinical trial. The NCI's Clinical Trials Cooperative Groups are researchers at many institutions who jointly develop and conduct cancer treatment clinical trials. Learn more about clinical trials and cooperative groups or search for a specific trial by using the links below.

The National Library of Medicine has developed ClinicalTrials.gov to provide patients, family members and members of the public current information about clinical research studies.

National Cancer Institute's Clinical Studies Support Center (CSSC)
CSSC provides information about clinical studies taking place on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. CSSC also offers a toll-free telephone service, 1-888-NCI-1937, by which an information specialist can provide information on clinical studies for people with cancer.
